"The image was created by a 1/10th second burst of intense energy, and it's a nearly perfect x-ray image."

Love these "explanations"... not a quarter second, not 2 seconds, but 1/10 ( without explaining what type of energy ) ... and I thought it was a negative image, not an x-ray

An x-ray is a frequency level of light, a type of energy. A negative is simply a reverse image, apples to oranges talking of energy types. Perhaps the person made a mistake (since it sort of looks like our typical x-ray image formats).

Oh, I'm sorry, you must be the PhD physicist who conducted the experiment that determined the length of time it took. And you probably also already know that energy doesn't just "appear" from people, so no one really has any idea the type/source of energy. You also probably "know" that the "negative image" idea was totally debunked when they showed the images of the Shroud to various doctors and experienced criminologists who very quickly identified it as an x-ray image.

Don't bring your snide crap to me until you've done some research.

It is neither.

The closest modern analogue to the Shroud is a radiagraph produced by injecting a subject with a radioactive tracer and counting the decay particles with a multi-million dollar collimated, computerized radiation detector used for heart and brain scans.

However, to duplicate the image on the shroud, the radiation eminating from the body would have to STOP, completely, after the decay particles had travelled only 3-4 centimeters, otherwise the interior details (teeth, bones) that are visible on the shroud would have been completely washed out by an overabundance of particles from deeper in the body. Thus the time frame for the creation of the image is the time it would take alpha rays to travel that distance... about 12-16 picoseconds.
